Snow boots: Winter warmers

Snow boots: Sorel snow boots
Sorel are winter staples over in Canada, and have also been spotted gracing the oh-so-glamorous feet of Brad Pitt and Elle MacPherson, amongst others. We like the strange yet appealing marriage between rubber waterproofing and super-cosy (faux) fur. Will keep you cosy down to temperatures of -25°, which we sincerely hope is enough for the UK winter

Christmas gift guide: Clarks snow boots
Water resistant enough for actual ski slopes, as well as slushy city streets, these Clarks boots are good value for money. They are lined with faux fur for added warmth, and also come in black or burgundy shades.

Snow boots: Merrell snow boots
The antidote to soggy Uggs, these pleasingly simple boots from Merrell with cosy furry lining will keep your tootsies snug and dry. They are also very easy to get on and off - even with bemittened hands - due to the side zip. Good deep treads for snowy or icy pavements, too.

Snow boots: Baffin snow boots
If you are heading straight from the office to the North Pole, these are the boots for you. They claim to keep your feet warm down to -100°C, a temperature which makes the current UK freeze look like a heatwave

Snow boots: Columbia snow boots
If Cruella de Vil or the Queen of Narnia should decide to dtich the heels in favour of a more practical winter look, these are what they would wear. Probably.

Snow boots: Mou eskimo boots
If you prefer a simple, cosy style, Mou boots are far more stylish than those, ahem, uggly things. This lovely Eskimo style comes in a variety of different colours, with contrast or matching stitching.

Snow boots: North Face snow boots
The simple design (at least by snow boot standards) and black colour mean these North Face boots are a slightly more everyday option - you could get away with them outside a snowstorm, too.

Snow boots: Patagonia boots
Joining a winter expeditionary force? Adopt a military style boot. You could probably climb snow-clad mountains and outdistance Sherpas in these. Attention!

Snow boots: Cushe snow boots
These grey and lilac boots from relative shoe newcomer Cushe are a more feminine choice

Snow boots: Snow and Rock boots
A budget buy from Snow + Rock, these moon boots will waterproof your feet through snow, rain and presumably moondust. Note, we did say budget, not stylish.

Snow boots: Toewarmers
If you prefer to stick to your battered old leaky trainers, purchase some disposible toewarmers and defrost the poor digits slowly. Hot chocolate may help. Not applied locally, mind.

‘They were disgusted that I was even talking’: Nashville dad takes kids to McDonald’s, ends up realizing they don’t want him there at all
